1977-91, 450 appearances, 178 goals

Roger Brown says "[Davies] was probably the laziest centre-forward there was, but Ivor was always in the right place at the right time". Ray Lewington says: "you very rarely play with natural goalscorers like our Ivor... had the wonderful knack of being in the right place at the right time, and could score goals with just about any part of his body. He was an instinctive player, and his goals got us out of trouble on many occasions." The records say that he scored 178 goals for Fulham, more than anyone else. Davies is also the only player to score a hat trick both for and against Chelsea in a league match.
